John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I think you two can find the rest.

Romans 10:9What does that mean? I hear a lot of people say that, but it doesn't show up in my Bible.
Sin isn't something you do, it is, but mostly it's something you lack. All of us come to God sinners, it's the actual wilful sin that separates us. Ok, so when you die there was something you were not contrite enough about, repentant enough about, trapped in or otherwise involved in. God knows that, we know what, God knows why. You don't go to the fires of perdition because you had the misfortune of getting hit by a bus while you were coveting something on the way to work. The idea is patently absurd.Can or do or can, sinners get into heaven, that die in sin...? Does it matter whether they were sorry or repentant or not about it?, or do you actually have to "do away with" or put away all known sin that you know of that you do, or are guilty of...?
Comments...?
Peace,
God Bless!
Yes yes!! How do I walk in the light? How do I put away with secret sins? Must I confess them to anotherBe sure of this...
Those who walk in darkness have no part in the light.
But!
Those who walk in the light have fellowship with the Son and his blood cleanses them from all sin.
AMEN!! DEAR FRIEND AMEN!!! But what happens if we were freed from the law but continue to sin, because that is the position I am in. And even though I beleive in Jesus I'm still not going to heaven because I walk in darkness which means I did not truly believe in Jesus this I Knoa!! And I have a desire to do good works and to live righteously but also I'm afraid to Fall and I begin to feel condemned by Hebrews 6:4-6 because what was once (me living righteously) has fallen away into sin. Now I don't knowWOW! Really people, that's what your profession of Faith is, does not anyone know where he stands in Christ?
1Pet. 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
To answer your question, NO a Sinner cannot enter Heaven.
BUT, a Christian does!
I will give the Scriptures which tell you where you are in Christ.
I will not confuse the issue with Interpretation, I will let the Verses speak for themselves, if you do not believe what Scripture says, then nothing I can say will change your mind
Rom. 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Gal. 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Rom.
6:2
How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom. 6:7
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom. 6:11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom.7:4
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Rom. 8:9,10
9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10) And if Christ be in you, (THE BODY IS DEAD) because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Gal.2:19
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Gal. 5:24
And they that are Christ's have (CRUCIFIED THE FLESH) with the affections and lusts.
So you see, the Christian is.
1) Dead to the Law
2) Dead to Sin
3) Dead to the Flesh
1Jn. 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Rom. 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
1Jn. 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn. 3:5
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Rom 8:3,4
3) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4) That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1Jn 3:8-10
8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1Jn 3:20,21
20) For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Psa 32:1,2
1) A Psalm of David, Maschil. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2) Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Rom. 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Be Blessed
Romans 10:9
You used the word, "Accepting" Jesus Christ. How are the above verses showing us the accepting part?
Again with the games.
ac·cept

"he accepted a pen as a present"

Nothing inaccurate about what I said, perhaps you should check your understanding and furthermore who has given you a ministry of correcting others?If you didn't say inaccurate things, I would not have to point them out to you.

It's not of God that's for sure.
So enjoy the day the Lord has given you and make the most out of it.

Now what are you referring to?Adding or subtracting to the txt of the Bible is not the best thing for anyone to do. I hope that you would agree.
If a sinner can't get into heaven, then I think I'm screwed...? And I think if we were all to be honest, we would say that as well...
Am I guilty of sin, though?, now, under the New Covenant of Christ, the gospel of Grace, being on the other side of being born again...?
I do do things I consider sin, but what does God say about it now, after being born again...?
God Bless!

Scripture teaches mankind has choices concerning God.
You can choose to stand with Him or against Him or make no choice, which is accounted as standing against Him.
"Us accepting" IS "us" making our election, ie our choosing.
And we are warned, to be sure of our election, before calling on Him to reveal our election.
2Pet.1
- [10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
1Thes.1
God Bless,
- [4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

"Accepting" is neither explicitly nor implicitly found in those texts. We don't "accept" God. He is not waiting for our acceptance like the girl no one wants to take to the prom.
